Timewarp E46 for £17k!

I think you'd need your head examined but there is obviously still a market for a mint E46.

On average 155 miles a year... How does somebody own a car for 12 years and drive it so little?

foreign owner of some property in the UK, probably London who has the asset for "If the caca hits the cooling device where I come from I'll have an expensive illiquid asset abroad that's hard to grab from me" reasons, who's rarely there who wanted a run-about car.

Unfortunately not, its a 2.0 gt - non turbo. It would be fairly pricey at £1450 I reckon.

Having been in the market for semi classic bmw recently, an auto wasn't even something I considered and I drive a auto as a daily. Lovely car but it needs to be a manual.

I was messimg around on pistonheads etc when I found that Alpina and others such as the 540i and was thinking of your car as it happens. Don't sell her FN!

Probably much easier (and more profitable) to send one back to the UK sadly, especially now that there's VRT refunds on exports.

not an Audi equivalent, but if you're after youngtimer Mercs, MTSV is worth a butchers.
Prices are on the high side, but these are pristine examples - mostly W124/W201s

I think it's too pricey, it's only an SE and I don't like that spoiler either. Personal opinion but I would prefer if it had a manual gearbox as well (although it not being a sport is much more of a deal breaker for me as they look much sharper in sport spec).

The only way it could justify that price is if it's had the VANOS seals, oil filter housing gasket, rocker cover gasket, cooling system and transmission fluid changed. Some of the suspension bits should have been changed as well - that aluminium suspension can be a bit fragile and parts are not cheap.

I'd have no problem with an SE auto in an E39 525i.

If it was an E34 then the sweetspot would be a Manual 525i Sport all day long.

Clean E39's with good history becoming very rare, I can see this selling quickly.

My only concern with any UK car of this age would be rust on the underside, corroded brake lines and so on.

Big Nasty · 07-12-2017 2:08pm

It's tidy and in good nick for sure but not exactly an appreciating classic. Too much IMO.

Voodoomelon · 07-12-2017 2:17pm

I got €4k for my E38 a few weeks ago, could have got more but i needed it gone. That E39 won't last long in the UK, although it's not my up of tea at all.

Yes it really was, i'm glad I put up that video of it while I had it, was nice to have it again for a few months. I had it parked in storage at work and looked at it about 20 times a day. Such a great looking car to just stand and stare at. The new owner is a detailer so couldn't have gone to a better buyer.
